Welcome to one of the many BlueSky caches placed around British
Columbia. Wardner Provincial Park is a wonderful spot to view the
Kootenay river . . . or launch your boat! From this cache, head up
and along the shore to find Wardner Provincial Park's picnic tables
and then have a picnic . . . Enjoy!
This cache promotes active living and environmentally friendly
Geocaching. In order to place this cache, we might have paddled
down the river from the bridge or rode our bikes from the highway
or even walked to the location from the highway . . . which ever
method you use to arrive at GZ, try to do so in an environmentally
friendly manner! Please share your story about how you got to the
cache, especially if it was using an environmentally friendly means
of transportation. If you do this, you will have emitted way less
carbon into the atmosphere than if you had driven. To discover
information about other nearby BC Parks,
visit their
website. Also,
here is a link to
the BC Parks geocaching policies, please familiarize yourself with
them. Through cooperation with BC Parks, we can keep geocaching a
fun and supported activity in BC's Provincial Parks
In these caches, you'll find some ProjectBlueSky geocoins for
the first finders. Please only take one... if you have one from
another cache, please leave them for other people. There are also
some other pins and swag from BC Parks, BCGA and Project Blue
Sky.

Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes

to
fight climate change through increased physical activity and
sustainable travel.
One of the tools, a widget that logs human power kilometres,
can
be shared across other social networks and web applications,
aggregating every participant’s contributions in one place.
You can even log your activities right
